The sentencing of Cassius Turvey’s killers shows courts still struggle to deal with racism

"The brutal homicide of 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy, Cassius Turvey, by a group of white men revealed the racial schisms in Western Australian society. Turvey was walking home from school in October 2022 when he was abruptly beaten to death."

      Just extraordinary to be able to see something so rare and unusual. Not that there's many of the other models left around. All fibreglass, they are an interesting part of Australian motoring history that many not know exists.

                                    Always a bit nerve-wracking doing this - I had to sacrifice the contents of the SD-card which was a load of music (I have it backed up elsewhere) for the update - but it all went through OK - it does seem Android Auto is disconnecting and resetting less on the new firmware but this might only be because I'm keeping an eye on the device battery levels - it tends to act up when the phone reaches 80% charge which I've set on "battery care" - lots of have the same problem (not only VW) and neither the manufacturers nor seem to be able to stop it.

                                    I've got the car's built in as a backup (but I don't get speed warnings nor real time traffic, as VW abandoned this service after 3G was ceased in many countries)

                                                      This gorgeous 61(?) Chrysler was stunning inside and out. Would have been a car for someone rich, with all the mod cons at the time. And those fins are spectacular.

                                                                Because of AI slop and confusion caused by (often well-meaning) Americans on international online spaces, I was unsure if the engine on my had just direct or multi point

                                                                Managed to snag an official VW workshop manual and checked with my own eyes, was pleased to see the CHHA engine in my car does indeed have the extra fuel rail and injectors in the intake manifold (this is good, as sprays over the back of the intake valves and keeps then cleaner, without it they are prone to coke up and require walnut blasting)

                                                                I do not know why Americans only get engines with direct injection (into the combustion chamber), whether this is simply cost cutting by of or some other reason..
